(West Fortress, Bog Forest)
(Artur's 3rd POV)
"Something's different!"
That was Artur's immediate impression.
The atmosphere at West Fortress had shifted. The usually kind and friendly arion seemed to have changed. Not in a hostile way, but they had become even more kind and friendly towards humans.
While this should have been a positive development, Artur couldn't shake off his suspicion.
He had to admit, part of his suspicion stemmed from his jealousy of Moku. Despite his constant denial, the term "Siscon" seemed to fit him well.
However, for the sake of family harmony, he kept his mouth shut.
Despite his efforts, Artur's suspicion lingered. He still believed that Anna had been brainwashed by Moku.
In his heart, he refused to call her Nevare, even though it was a title of honor for a prince's wife. To him, she was still his sister, Anna.
But… something was off with Anna.
